Yikes. I'm with Jake about the spiders. This is a sweet story about a boy and his stepfather learning more about each other, and finding a strength and a weakness that were previously undiscovered.

This one is about a young boy bonding with his stepfather over the idea that everyone, no matter how strong and brave he looks, has something he fears.
Short but very warm and sweet, and with lovely illustrations.

A Newbery Honor Book, but also a picture book. A boy and his stepfather grow closer when they realize they are more alike than they thought.
